The Sukhoi Su-24 was warned 10 times before being downed near the Syrian border by two Turkish F16 jets for violating the country's airspace, according to the Turkish military.
A Turkish official said two Russian planes approached the Turkish border and were warned before one of them was shot down, adding their information shows Turkish airspace was repeatedly violated.
A US official has said initial indications are that the incursion into Turkish airspace lasted a matter of seconds. It has triggered a major diplomatic confrontation, with NATO calling an emergency meeting to discuss the incident.
Both of the pilots are dead, say Sky sources.
